State I'm asking about is Michigan.
My boyfriend had his second DUI not long ago. The first one was years and years ago. This time they put him on probation. My question is this. They revoked his license, and he did the whole work release program. He is completely clean in every other way, just had too much to drink and was the "least drunk" of all of his friends that night (NOT AN EXCUSE!). But...about a month ago he was driving to the store for work (has his own business) and a cop ran his plates for no reason, found out the owner's license was revoked and pulled him over. The cop let him go and told him "don't worry, i'm not going to take you in." He was NOT issued a ticket of any kind, just let go. Last Friday he gets a letter in the mail saying that he has to go in to be fingerprinted to "expedite booking" becuase the cop wrote him up anyway, and his driving was a violation of probation. Mind you my boyfriend NEVER got a ticket, and the cop let him go and he never heard anything of it. My questions are: 1. Can a cop run your plates for NO reason? 2. Can a copy give you a violation without giving you a ticket? 3. Any idea what expedite booking would possibly mean? ANy help would be greatly appreciated! we are trying to figure out if he needs to contact a lawyer....
